C
five layers
D
four layers
Explanation:

Detailed explanation-2: -While SSL provides keyed message authentication, TLS uses the more secure Key-Hashing for Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to ensure that a record cannot be altered during transmission over an open network such as the Internet.

Detailed explanation-3: -TLS, the more modern version of SSL, is secure. What’s more, recent versions of TLS also offer performance benefits and other improvements. Not only is TLS more secure and performant, most modern web browsers no longer support SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0.
